If you expected to see a neat “Enroll now” link under Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update and it’s not there, you’re not alone — a mix of staged rollouts, missing prerequisite updates, account restrictions, and a handful of brittle UI bugs have left many eligible Windows 10 PCs without...

Windows 10 has reached its official end-of-support date, but Microsoft has opened a one-year safety valve — the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program — that lets eligible Windows 10 PCs continue receiving security-only patches through October 13, 2026; for many home users that extra...

Windows 10 will stop receiving free security fixes on October 14, 2025 — and if your PC can’t take the free Windows 11 upgrade, you have five realistic paths forward: enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU), buy or rent a new Windows 11 PC (including cloud PCs), perform an unsupported upgrade...

Microsoft’s October deadline for Windows 10 support has arrived like a ringing bell for an industry that—by several measures—wasn’t ready: large numbers of consumer and corporate endpoints still run Windows 10, many organisations face compatibility and budget constraints, and the safety net...
